Once upon a time,on a particularly icy winter morning,
in the middle of the country side,there appeared out of nowhere
a beautiful castlewith a restaurant
that offered the weary travelerhot coffee and the best croissant imaginable
at 9am in the morning!
Coffee MelangeMade with coffee beans
gathered from wild coffee trees
in Ethiopia and roasted locally
So good, I had to
have a second cup!

Delightful pictures. An interesting collection of skulls. I wonder if their original owners were served up in the restaurant?
